Been watching a lot of old British Hammer horror movies lately. Both on late night digital telly and a couple of cheap DVD’s I’ve picked up recently. It fun just to watch how many different ways you can kill and bring back Dracula in these movies. The Bat vomiting blood on his ashes at the start of Scars Of Dracula is so far my favourite.
I watched The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires over the weekend were Hammer horror meets Kung Fu. Weirdly modern movies and TV shows like Buffy and Blade make this movie feel slightly more contemporary then the other Horror movies. There is a lot of Kung Fu\Vampire movies and comics around nowadays so in many ways this film feels a bit modern even if it doesn’t always look it. It also pretty watchable which is a plus with these types of films.
Also watching all these Hammer films lately reminds me a lot of the much overlooked comedy Dr Terrible’s house of horror.
